The article presents the highlights of the exploration activities of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its partners using the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer in the 2015 field season. Among the sites explored are in Rhode Island, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
